Speaking in the Abstract

I attended a talk this morning- about character building & ethics. It reminded me of my jurispudence class with Prof Derek Beyleveld & Roger Brownsword, where everything is relative and we have to make the arguments to justify each standpoint.

I'm surprised that I still remember the lecturers' names after so long. They were the bane of our existence, then. I think if I were to do the subject now, I might be able to look at it more perceptively. Maturity is wonderful that way. I have the confidence to speak my mind or admit that I don't know everything after all.

Anyway, back to the lecture, I had thought that at the end of it there'll be a long debate on the virtues of ethics and the sphere of influence etc. but it did not happen (according to a colleague that stayed till the end). I left early to attend to students in a particular class, who ended up coming late. What's the point of this blog? I don't have one. So sue me.
